Pennsylvania Solar Company Recognized as One of the 50 Most Community-Minded Employers in the Greater Philadelphia Region
NEWTOWN, Pa. (PRWEB) June 30, 2023 -- Exact Solar has been named a 2023 honoree of The Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia by Philadelphia Foundation, in partnership with Points of Light and local partners. Modeled after Points of Light’s national program, The Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia provides a standard for corporate citizenship and showcases how employers use their time, skills, and resources to drive social impact in their communities and company.
“We are honored to receive this award for the second year,” said Doug Edwards, president of Exact Solar. “Our dedicated team continues our commitment to environmental advocacy, career development for green jobs, and educational engagement for K-12. We believe clean energy, like solar, is the right approach for protecting our planet which is why we support and connect with local schools because the children represent our future.”
The Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia honorees are private and public companies and other employers operating in the Philadelphia region. Exact Solar was also recognized in 2022 for the Civic 50 because for over a decade the company has served the local community as environmental stewards. “Our goal is to be proactive in bringing about positive community and global change, both environmentally and socially,” said Edwards. In the last year Exact Solar donated a solar system to the Boys and Girls Club of Mercer County. “We understand that we can assist their vital work by helping them redirect energy costs to supporting more kids,” said Edwards.
“Philadelphia Foundation is proud to recognize Exact Solar’s outstanding civic engagement,” said Pedro Ramos, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Philadelphia Foundation. “All of the 2023 honorees have demonstrated great passion and dedication to making a meaningful impact in the local communities they serve. We thank Exact Solar for their efforts and congratulate them on this exciting honor.”
Over the years, Exact Solar has also collaborated with multiple local career-development programs for aspiring solar installers and professionals, including the Philadelphia Opportunity Improvement Center on North Broad Street, the Energy Coordinating Agency in Kensington, and PowerCorps PHL. The Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia honorees were officially recognized on Thursday, June 22 at a celebratory event at the FS Investment Corporate Headquarters located in Philadelphia, PA.
